You May Have Noticed...

...that this blog is effectively dead.

We've been here before, haven't we? I suppose this is the domain of any writer, but the trick is to try to not let yourself get burnt out and that's why I put this blog on hold.

Thankfully I got myself a full time job, but I also ended my time at Button Smasher and wanted to get back into writing. Unfortunately a 9-5 job doesn’t leave you with much time to dedicate to updating a blog daily, but I have been trying over at my personal blog (I managed to complete everyday of Holidailies 2009). It also doesn’t leave me with much time to dedicate to my gaming passion; so the choice is between actually playing games or writing about them, so you can pretty much guess what option won.

I haven’t given in though, and I’m now writing news over at the VGR Network. I’ve also joined the review team and I’m currently reviewing Alien Breed: Evolution that will most likely be up on the site this Friday. I’m really enjoying the community at VGR and it’s good to be with a site that could blossom into something big if we work hard at it.

As for this blog, I’m going to try my best. As much as I hate to say this I can’t spend my entire waking hours writing. I have a life, and I can’t stay cooped up in my room putting sentences together all the time (although I suppose I could do it on the move with my iPhone 3G). It’s also hard to write about gaming when you need to actually play games and, in my case, also keep up with the gaming news. Basically I’m going to have to limit myself, and I think two or three posts a week may be the best I can do right now. I can’t make that a promise though.

As in any situation making promises you probably won’t be able to keep is pointless. In the blogging world it only pisses off your readers, and a pissed off reader isn’t likely to return. I know I’ve done that a few times, so I must apologise for that.

I could ramble on all day, but I’d rather leave it at that rather abrupt ending if you don’t mind.
